Your Rhode Island February Vacation Guide!

We love our kids, but entertaining them for an entire week can be quite a challenge. So we did a little research for you to find some family friendly and/or kid-centric ways to stay occupied this February Vacation. And, if you are headed off somewhere warm…you forgot to send me my flight information!!

Legion Bowl– Nothing says kid heaven like duck-pin bowling, arcade games and pizza! Legion Bowl in Cranston is offering a deal that is far too good not to take advantage of. A family of 4 can bowl for 90 minutes with bowling shoes, a pitcher of soda and a cheese pizza for $34.99. There is also an entire arcade as well as 8 tournament style billiard tables. A whole lot of fun for everyone!

Ice Skating– Something about a cold day out on the ice followed by warn hot chocolate just makes for the perfect winter day. This is also a great way to expend some energy! Since Rhode Island is quite little, you can find a rink within a short drive. Here are a few to check out:

Rock Spot Climbing– This is the ultimate indoor climbing experience right here in Rhode Island. Lucky for us, there are two locations (Peace Dale and Lincoln) which means that one of them must not be too far away from you. Learn more here!

If you are not looking for a camp, you can still plan to spend a day at the zoo getting to know the winter animals, admission is half price through February! Click here for more.

KidZone– KidZone is located in North Kingstown in the Hunt River Commons. This is another awesome way to expend energy as well as a way to escape and winter weather. Consider it a large indoor playground complete with jumpy houses, slides, games, toys and so much more. There are also paint classes available…click here for the schedule and hours!
